MariaArredondo，1985年七月六日降生于挪威的文内斯拉（Vennesla）小镇。和很多出色的歌手一样，Maria从很小的时候便显露了过人的音乐天赋。她的母亲说她是“从会走路的那天起，就会唱歌了”。她从10岁起就开始参加地区的各种歌唱比赛，成绩颇佳。她用了两年时间慢慢寻找自我风格，然后签订了自己的唱片合同。她可以唱各种各样的歌，从慢而深情的“Cross Every River“到疯狂有力的快歌如“Mad Summer”。是个跨过古典和流行界的歌手。
她的第一张同名专辑请来了诸如Jonas von Der Burg, Espen Lind, 这样的大牌制作人。作曲者也是水准很高，Christian Ingebrigtsen，Silje Nergaard等都为她操刀动笔。这张专辑甫一出世，就在挪威最大的报纸的音乐版上获得了最高的评价。它的销量是白金。第一首单曲“Can let go”于2002年5月推出，名叫她的第3首单曲，与Christian Ingebrigtsen合唱的“In love with an angel”空降冠军，同样是白金销量。Maria的嗓子有些象流行天后Mariah Carey,但是比后者要稍微男性一点点。我认为Maria的声线非常好，性感但不做作，有力但不炫耀，明亮但不过分照人。她的低音很沉，很女人但是又很自立，高音千回百转，闻之泪下。汗，我对她确实是一见钟情的喜欢。。只听了一句歌就疯狂迷上了她。
歌词:
Maria Arredondo- Burning
Passion is sweet 激情令人幸福
Love makes weak 爱情令人脆弱
You said you cherished freedom so 你曾说过自由至上
You refuse to let it go 因此你不愿被束缚
Follow your fate 命中注定
Love and hate 爱恨情仇
Never fail to seize the day 日夜追逐你的梦想
But dont give yourself away 从未放弃
Oh when the night falls 哦当夜幕降临
And your all alone 你孤身一人
In your deepest sleep what 在你沉睡之时
Are you dreaming of 你梦见了什么
My skin's still burning from your touch 肌肤之亲 让我陶醉
Oh I just can't get enough I 噢 我却无法满足
Said I wouldn't ask for much 曾答应不再想你索取
But your eyes are dangerous 然而 你的延伸摄人心魄
Oh the thought keep spinning in my head 对你的思想挥之不去
Can we drop this masquerade 我们可否坦诚相对
I can't predict where it ends 纵使结局无法预料
If your the rock I'll crush against 我仍旧甘愿飞蛾扑火
Trapped in a crowd 置身于茫茫人海之中
The music is loud 乐声嘈杂
I said I love my freedom to 我曾说过我同样珍爱自由

All eyes on you 视线被你占据
Rings so true 我已经看清一切
Better quit while you're ahead 感情深入之时
Now I'm not so sure I am 现今却不置可否
Oh when the night falls 哦 当夜幕降临
